The program in Political
Science prepares students for careers
in local, state, federal, and international
agencies, for the law and for service
in private-sector organizations.
It is also designed to provide a
solid subject matter background
for those who may wish to become
certified teachers in the Social
Science area. Western's program
emphasizes three major subfields
of Political Science: International
Relations and Comparative Politics;
Administration and Political Processes;
Public Policy and Law (the latter
two focusing on American Government).
